Obama a Marxist – Post contributed by SlaughteredSheep.com’s Peter King
Dang it! I HATE it when someone who’s billed as an honest reformer turns out to be sympathetic to Marxism! Seriously, that’s a big pet peeve of mine
Here he is in his own words from his audio version of his book, Dreams From My Father…
Just after President Obama took office, the NEA updated it’s website to include the book, Rules for Radicals, by Saul Alinksky, under the “Recommended Reading” section. And here’s a picture of him teaching the principles of the book, Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinksky, which is a blueprint on “how to create mass organizations to seize power and give it to the people” (1st page of the book).
Additionally, a young Obama was mentored by Frank Davis who publicly identified himself as a member of the communist party…
Key advisor Valerie Jarrett’s father worked with Frank Davis, too.
Obama himself admits to attending socialist conferences and studying marxist literature.
Then there’s the clear pattern of “economic justice” … AKA take from the rich and give to the poor – spread the wealth. Obama: “When you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”
That aint capitalism folks. So, what ism would you file that under?
It also makes perfect sense when you look at the people who he grew up around as well as who he surrounds himself with now.

He’s also been a huge supporter of community organization, ACORN. Here is ACORN’s former CEO (she was CEO when he was elected president) addressing a socialist organization.
You can watch Glenn Beck debunk Obama’s claim that he’s not a socialist HERE
But, really, don’t take my word for it. Here’s the words of marxist professor, Manning Marable:
“What makes Obama different is that he has also been a community organiser. He has read left literature, including my works, and he understands what socialism is. A lot of the people working with him are, indeed, socialists with backgrounds in the Communist Party or as independent Marxists. There are a lot of people like that in Chicago who have worked with him for years…”
Concluding Thoughts
If the President sides with Marxism, so be it. I’m sure he’s a nice guy. I’m not out to paint him as the anti-Christ or anything. However, if he is sympathetic to marxist views (and I believe he is), then shouldn’t this be debated openly? Did the majority of Americans who voted for him believe they were voting someone with many socialist and marxist leanings?
